    Default Picture added to Border or Sashing

    I just found out I don't have to go to town for parts and so I came in and loaded a picture to go with my question. I am thinking sashing to keep the line between little and big bowties nice and straight.

    Yes! I agree! Are bowties fun to make?

    Lots of fun. I even used the snowball triangles to make up some mini 3" pinwheels. Put then away to keep adding to the box.

    I agree you should separate them with a border but I would probaby do white. The blue border causes the bowties in the border to lose their definition. Try auditioning white and see what you think.

    I agree, too. I love that border for the bowtie pattern. Nice job!

    We tried white, and buttery yellow, and blue, and the blue won 3-0 on the design wall.

    I agree with the sashing and the it needs to be a different color. If you want to use blue, I would go with a solid blue.

    I think that would look really nice. That way the little ties will look as important as the large ones.

    Yep, I vote for white too.
